Firetown Road Closure Planned in Simsbury

SIMSBURY — — An upcoming construction project will require the closure of Firetown Road between Northgate and Old Farms Road from early morning to late evening on Sept. 29.

The road closure will allow the replacement of a culvert.

Preparatory work will begin on Sept. 28, during which alternating one-lane traffic flow will be maintained. The road will be completely closed on Sept. 29. The plan is to have at least one lane of alternating traffic on Sept. 30; but if unexpected situations develop, complete closure may continue.

The detour route is via Barndoor Hill Road and Simsbury Road in Granby. Detour signs will be posted.

For information on the project, call the town engineer at 860-658-3260.
